Cruisin' on the grey snakes 'til my dyin' day
Checkin' all the hen houses out along the way
Wastin' time and drikin' wine
Life is short and I ain't lyin'
Livin' all I Can through every day

You can call me Lucifer
If you think you should
Now I know I'm good

Every night I'm barrel housin' 'til the moon is low
Shoutin' blues and payin' dues and throwin' way my dough
Ramblin', gamblin', lovin', shovin' probably won't end up with nothin
But at least I'll reap the seeds I sow

You can call me Lucifer
If you think you should
Now I know I'm good

Funky water farmers daughter gonna make the law
Lucy Blue Chicago Green I'll love 'em 'til they thaw
Courtin' all the lovely foxes, brunette, redheads, goldilocks
Talkin time to grind my crosscut saw

You can call me Lucifer
If you think you should
Now I know I'm good

    Grey snake is a buss. Hen house is a brothel. Barrel house is a bar. Crosscut saw is a guitar.

    Guy is just traveling, getting laid, playing the blues and staying fucked up. Thinks being called Lucifer is a cool moniker.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
